Hot! PFW&#039;s Value Board

Hot! PFW's Value Board

nickbradley · 2012-04-10T03:07:47-07:00

Based on discussions they've had with NFL teams, PFW has created a value board for prospects. As you'll see, Wright and hill are considered second round picks. I'll reorganize the value board - players are not in individual value order, just listed in their 'tier' and position (i.e. Blackmon is not better than Griffin, but Griffin is better than Tannehill)...I only did the first four rounds. Top of First Round: Andrew Luck Trent Richardson Justin Blackmon OLT Matt Kalil Robert Griffin Michael Floyd Ryan Tannehill Melvin Ingram Fletcher Cox Morris Claiborne Middle of First Round: OT Cordy Glenn OG David DeCastro OT Riley Reiff Quinton Coples Dontari Poe Luke Kuechly Mark Barron Stephon Gilmore Michael Brockers Dont'a Hightower Courtney Upshaw End of First Round: David Wilson Rueben Randle Coby Fleener OT Bobby Massie OG Kevin Zeitler Nick Perry Jerel Worthy Andre Branch Harrison Smith Dre Kirkpatrick Chandler Jones Top of Second Round: Brandon Weeden Kendall Wright OG Amini Silatolu Stephen Hill C Peter Konz OT Jonathan Martin Whitney Mercilus Kendall Reyes Ronnell Lewis CB Josh Robinson DT Brandon Thompson Middle of Second Round: Doug Martin Alshon Jeffery OT Mitchell Schwartz OG Brandon Brooks Vinny Curry Alameda Ta'amu Lavonte David Janoris Jenkins Devon Still Zach Brown Trumaine Johnson End of Second Round: Kirk Cousins LaMichael James Brian Quick Dwayne Allen OT Mike Adams Lamar Miller A.J. Jenkins OT Jeff Allen Mohamad Sanu Alfonzo Dennard Top of Third Round: Isaiah Pead Orson Charles C Ben Jones Mike Martin Mychal Kendricks George Iloka Casey Hayward Derek Wolfe Bobby Wagner Dwight Bentley Middle of Third Round: Brock Osweiler Bernard Pierce Chris Givens C David Molk Marv Jones OG Tony Bergstrom OT Kelechi Osemele Bruce Irvin Josh Chapman Shea McClellin Jamell Fleming End of Third Round: Edwin Baker Ryan Broyles Michael Egnew OG Joe Looney Jarius Wright C Philip Blake Tyrone Crawford Billy Wynn Kyle Wilber Trent Robinson Brandon Boykin Top of Fourth Round: Cyrus Gray Nick Toon Ladarius Green OT Tom Compton T.Y. Hilton OG Rokevious Watkins Trevor Guyton Hebron Fangupo Darius Fleming Brandon Hardin Jayron Hosley Olivier Vernon Josh Norman Middle of Fourth Round: Ronnie Hillman Joe Adams OT Brandon Mosley Keyshawn Martin OG Lucas Nix OG Matt Reynolds Cam Johnson Rennie Moore Keenan Robinson Antonio Allen Omar Bolden DaJohn Harris Sean Spence End of Fourth Round: Russell Wilson Chris Polk Rishard Matthews OT James Brown Marvin McNutt OG Adam Gettis OT Donald Stephenson Jared Crick Jaye Nigel Bradham Markelle Martin Shaun Prater Terrell Manning Asa Jackson http://www.profootballweekly.com/2012/04/06/pfws-exclusive-draft-value-chart-7

A mock draft assuming we only drafted players in our tier or reached one teir (i.e. an early fourth round talent in the late 3rd), a mock draft would look like this:

1 (30) - OG Kevin Zeitler

2 (61) - WR Mohamad Sanu

3 (92) - NT Hebron Fangupo

4 (125) - DL Jared Crick

5 (165) - C Mike Brewster

6 (199) - CB Coty Sensabaugh

7 (237) - S Sean Cattouse, Cal

Based on this rating, my draft would be :

1) Reuben Randle or Coby Fleener WR/TE
2) Alfonso Dennard to play safety, not cornerback
3) Philip Blake C/OG
4) Jared Crick DE
5) Vick Ballard RB
6) Brandon Washington OG

Wow, Crick as a late fourth rounder is crazy...

I had Blake in the 3rd too, but realized that all of the nose tackles are 4th round grades or higher. So I plugged in fangupo and took brewster later.

Don't like the RB pick. What are the chances a 5th rd RB cracks our roster?

The rb would be the first try for a Gore successor. There are more gems found in the later rounds at the rb position than at any other position. Take a chance and pick a back and if he isn't so good it won't hurt too much if you cut him and try again next draft. The more chances you take, the more chances you have to find the hidden gem :)

I think its only OK to cut 7th round picks as rookies...occasionally 6th rounders.

If you have to cut a 5th round pick, somebody screwed up.

Maybe, but our roster isn't that bad. The better we get, the bigger the possibility that we have to cut a rookie. We all are used to not cutting draft picks, because our team was bad, but this has changed a bit.I don't wanna cut a draft pick, but i think it will happen more frequently.

I don't think good teams cut 5th rounders either

I really wouldn't mind Harrison Smith at 30. I'd take Lamicheal James in the 2nd round over any other guy in that tier.

I say draft the BPA, period.

The Dallas Cowboys didn't draft Joe Montana in 1979 because Tom Landry thought that he would just be cut in camp, and it would end up being a wasted pick.

I live in Portland, and had to watch the team pass up BOTH Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant because they didn't want to "waste" a pick on a position that the team didn't "need" ... when you have the chance to get exceptional talent, get exceptional talent.

Good teams trade their latter round picks either to move up or for the next years draft. I am not sure we are at that point yet but we are close.

Well I don't ever want to see Anthony Dixon carry the ball for the 49ers again. And I've been saying for a few years now we need another option beyond Gore. Jacobs is a very short term answer, that could easily be cut in camp if a rookie looks good. So although there isn't much chance a 5th RB cracks the roster, there is a good chance that what you consider the "5th" could wind up being the 3rd or 4th.

Pittsburgh cut Thaddeus Gibson, who was a 4th rounder.
